The resolution demanding redress to the B.C. Indians, spon- sored by the F.C.W.1.U.0f C. was treated in the likewise manner.

Will Take Referendum in Local Unions VANCOUVER, May 5.—The Na- tional Committee of Fishermen and Cannery Workers’ Industrial Union, at its meeting on May 4th, discussed the possibilities of a general strike in sympathy with the Relief Camp Workers. Although very few of the fishermen are out fishing and the industry is practically at a stand-— still,-the committee feels that a ref erendum must be taken among the fishermen to determine the actual © sentiment of the fishermen in re- gards to a general strike. The National Committee recom- mends to all the locals that a dis- eussion in regard to a _é general strike in the fishing industry in Sympathy with the relief camp strikers should take place, and that reports should be tendered to the National Office in the immediate so that the National Com- mittee can act in unison with the other unions in the city of Vancou- yer, who are contemplating a gen- eral strike in support of the Relief Camp Workers. future, Shameful Treatment Of Indian Fishermen Seen = S Intimidated by the Boss Packers, Starved by Indian Asents BELLA BELLA, B.C. April 28.— Last night we witnessed the effects of bosses’ intimidation, when over 40 Indian workers, gathered here to hear a report by the E.C.W.1.0- or ganizers, sat through a meeting last- ing over two hours and never asked or answered one question. complete intimidation it hard to find in any Canada. The Situation here that about such a condition, when work- ers are afraid to speak for fear of being discriminated against, are the following: The majority of all fami- lies are on relief; the scale is about the same as Bella Coola, $3.50 (in some cases $5.50) per month, per family. This is slow starvation with a vengeance. Such would be other spot in brings Today and every day the beach in front of the Indian reserve is a “drying: room’’ where the women dry and cure sea-weed for food. The fin- ished article is one of the ‘‘staples’’ used to keep life in the body for further exploitation this year British Golumbia’s twenty-three mil- in lion dollar a year fishing industry. Bosses Against Union. Last year the boss of the B. C. Packers told these fishermen that they would have no job with Namu Cannery if they poined the E.C.W. I.U. This is the main reason why no one asked or answered our ques- tions at the meetine—fear of losing the only chance of work, during the coming season, at the nearest place to their home, the Namu Cannery, owner by the B. GC. Packers. One thing they did do and that was they accepted our fish prices by a unani- mous show of hands. After the meeting last night seéy- eral of the young fishermen spoke to us and told us that they would join on, but that they no money now, also that after we leave later have would hold a meeting among when the whole ques- and a they themselves tion would be discussed de- cision made. Persist in Organization. We will stop in on our way down and haye another meeting with them, and regardless of what their decision may be, we are sure that they will support our program as re- geards fish prices. We hope that the workers will decide to ranks, thus strengthening the mili- tant working class movement, and jointly with all other fishermen and do their Bella Bella join our cannery workers, part to win from the cannery owners decent living and working conditions in the B.C. fishing industry.

Pattullo Ejects Delegation Nothing From Victoria for Camp Workers Except Police VICTORIA, April 29.—jection of a delegation representing the Relief Camp Workers Union, the B.C. Joint Organization on Unemployment, the B.C. League Against War and Fas- eismi, and the Workers Unity took place at the ITegis- lative Buildings this afternoon. This delegation protested against the police brutality used against the striking relief camp workers and elitizens of Vancouver and the clubbing of miners on strike for bet- ter conditions in Corbin. The dele- gation also demanded that Pattullo at once open up negotiations with the Camp Workers Union on the basis of their seyen demands, and pending these negotiations, that the camp workers be granted immediate relief. League, Mouths “Law and Order.” “Not a mouthful for the striking camp workers,” said this smug and complacent dictator. In answer to the delegation’s protest against the brutality of the police, he said that so lone as these workers stayed out of the camps and continued to dem- onstrate and persist with their de- mands, he would continued to main- tain “Law and Order.’’ When asked about opening up ne- gotiations on the seven demands and pending these negotiations, that immediate relief be granted the camp workers, he gruffly told the delegation that the interview was over. But when the delegates in- sisted that he give them an answer, he became arrogant and called in the police to eject the delgates. Prvious to the interview with the Premier, about fifty striking camp workers backed up the dele- gation by marching in a body to the Parliament buildings. On their way the marchers made a shopping tour through some of the largest stores and hotels in the city. | YOUTH COLUMN | DRIVE NOW ON FOR MAGAZINE VANCOUVER, May 3-—The Dis- trict Board of the WSA is carrying on an intensive subscription drive for our magazine, the “Sports Pa- rade.” It is absolutely necessary that this drive goes over one hun- dred per cent so that we will be able to set up a solid foundation for this magazine, and ensure its circulation.

In spite of that, there has been a notable progress in gym ac- tivities . There are only six seniors, but fif- teen juniors attend regularly. They receive drill and physical education from capable James McLean and swimiming and life-saving from in- structor ‘Taff’? Hughes. Qn March i7th the seniors gave a comic tumbling act at the Clinton Hall to advertise our coming Gala Concert on May 19th. The program will be yaried with music, singing, dancing, novelties, gymnastics, and comedy, accompanied by a fifteen- piece orchestra. Both the seniors and juniors are working hard for this event.
